What's been going on positive in your life? - 2016

[AbbysMom]

My mother was released from the hospital yesterday, so that is a step in the right direction. :nod:

 

[AbbysMom]

Wow, no one else has anything at all positive going on?


The humidity seems to have passed for at least one day so we should have a nice day out there today.

It's my baby girl's first birthday today!!
This is kind of a huge deal for me. I always celebrate my cats' birthdays, but since my Jasper never made it to his first birthday, Onyx's is extra-special.

Edit: more positive news, I finally got a new job! The store I used to work at wad just... soul-sucking. It's a little nerve-wracking being a newbie again, this is only the second job I've ever had, but I already like it better!

I'm back after a good vacation. Weather was good and the tropical storm held off until we got back home.

After a whirlwind few days, I think we have finally gotten dresses, suits, shirts, ties, jewelry, etc. squared away for my niece's rehearsal dinner and wedding next weekend. :cross:

Rick's parents'  house is sold! They just had closing! Gone, gone, gone! 

 

 

What an absolute relief that is for Rick. He walked through the house this morning, put his key on the kitchen counter, shut the door, walked away and never looked back. It's been an albatross.

OMG. I have the exact same positive news. My MIL's house has been on the market for 11 months. It's been a PITB on so many levels. We just closed escrow on Monday. Good-bye, Albatross!

This is a sign that good things are going to happen for you.

for both of you!



We had a nice long weekend away.

We paid off the mortgage last week.

We paid off the mortgage last week.

That's great

I've got a loong time to go before mine is paid off. But not quite so long now. My refinance closing is this Thursday. I'm going from a 30 year fixed to a 15 year fixed.

Nothing too positive happening in my life unless you count a week long staycation starting Thursday.

I'm getting ready for a trip to Cuba.  I leave on Wednesday.

I read an article about traveling to Cuba after if has been made easier.  I am sure you are aware of everything.  This article said that most U..S credit cards can't be used there.  It also said that U.S health insurance isn't valid there.  Basic health insurance is part of the ticket price and this article said to keep your boarding pass with you as proof of health insurance.  It also said that technically you aren't supposed to be going for purely tourist reasons, it's supposed to be to learn about Cuba and it's people.

I think it would be interesting to go there.  If nothing else, to see all of the cars from the 50's still on the road.

I'm currently enjoying some rare snuggle time with my elderly greyhound :9: SO special these days :heart3:

Going from a 30 year to a 15 year is a huge positive! :nod:

A staycation is as well. Enjoy it.


My husband's company is changing health insurance companies and I think we finally figured out what plan to go with. :nod:

 

[AbbysMom]

We didn't have many trick-or-treaters here, only 17, but those we did were so cute, sweet and thankful for what they received.

 

[AbbysMom]

We all had a nice Thanksgiving over here.
